Get ready for a hilarious night with the Almighty himself landing in Budapest. In 2026, the smash comedy Isteni végjáték (An Act of God) returns for multiple runs at the Vörös Neon entertainment spot on Dob Street (Dob utca) 1, in Budapest’s buzzing 1072 zip code, 7th District Jewish Quarter (Erzsébetváros). Alföldi Róbert steps into God’s shoes, dishing out divine wisdom on the past few tens of thousands of years, fielding your burning questions, and unveiling the next phases of his grand project. It’s one evening with the Supreme Being that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and thought-provoking – think stand-up from on high.
